How many inches of snowfall equal the volume of water in one inch of rainfall?

Brainy Blonde

It varies, depending how wet or dry the snow is, but on average it takes 10' of snow to equal 1' of water. See www.weatherworks.com Jun 01 01, 1:31 PM

I thought the equation was 1 inch of rain equals 10 inches of snow. Nov 17 04, 5:12 AM

That is the usual equuation although, I seem to remember a discussion here that suggested that this could vary quite considerably depending on how aereated the snow was. Nov 17 04, 8:18 PM
